| Dear BrickLink members,
The LEGO Group released the following statement regarding the war in Ukraine.
Our thoughts are with all the children and families suffering as a result of
the war in Ukraine.
Our priority is the safety of all our colleagues. We are in contact with our
Ukrainian team and are providing ongoing support to ensure their safety. We are
also working to support other colleagues around the world impacted by the escalating
crisis including our team in Russia.
We have paused shipments of products to Russia given the extensive disruption
to the operating environment.
We care deeply about the lasting impact on children and together with the LEGO
Foundation and Ole Kirk’s Fond, we will donate DKK 110 million (approx. USD 16.5
million) to emergency relief efforts, with a focus on providing support for children
and families. The donation will be made to existing partners, including the United
Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Save the Children, and the Danish Red Cross.
This is a volatile and constantly evolving situation which we are monitoring
closely.
What does this mean for BrickLink?
The global payment platforms we use on BrickLink are currently not available
in Russia and deliveries to and from the country are severely disrupted. Given
this, buying and selling activities in Russia will be temporarily deactivated.
Members impacted by this will be informed individually.
We are grateful for everyone in our community and never imagined we would face
a situation such as this or witness the heartbreak and devastation we’re seeing
in Ukraine.
Please continue to adhere to our community guidelines and show each other respect
and support.
Thank you for your understanding.
The BrickLink team

does this mean we will be still able to log in and work with my inventory (export,
import, edit) in deactivated mode?

Yes. Apart from the block at check out, your store and account privileges will
remain unchanged.
|
Please explain in more detail.
1. Will buyers from Russia be able to buy domestically?
2. Will buyers from Russia be able to buy outside the country?
3. Will buyers outside the country be able to buy in Russia if the payment system

Excellent news. And good on LEGO for thinking about all the children and families
involved in this nightmare. The refugees need a lot of help and global support
right now. For anyone reading this, if you have the means, please consider donating
to help house and feed all of the displaced Ukrainian families that have had
to flee their homes.

The Donation is an extra; but it'll be appreciated where this stupid destruction

Those News are much appreciated here.

Ok, Russell. Thx.
We work hard last month and open Limited Liability Partnership in Kazakhstan.
This gave us a chance to continue working with our foreign customers. Now we
will move the Bricklink Store to this country. There are all the necessary documents
and an address to confirm the existence in this country.
Admin_Russell, I and all guys from Favorite Cubes kindly ask you to make the
address change confirmation fast, as we cannot wait 1-2 weeks.

This seems like a major change for your shop, are you moving all stock to the

there?

| I came across a store a few weeks ago, that was not in Russia, however indicated
in their terms that all of their shipping was routed through a parent company
in Russia, and to expect the order to take several weeks to arrive. I don't
remember, for certain, what country the store was in, but I think it was in Kazakhstan.
I choose not to order due to known shipping issues out of Russia and deleted
the cart.
Unless you are actually shipping out of Kazakhstan, without routing through Russia,
all of the same shipping issues, as exist with Russia, are likely to impact the
order.

Well, what do you expect them to do considering current events? It's not
exactly easy (or possible in some cases) to exchange money and items with Russia.
And it seems like Russian sellers have no way to pay their fees currently, so
that adds a problem too.

Russians could sell to other Russians without postage or payment problems, and
they have continued to be allowed to do so all this time. It seems it is the
not being able to pay the fees issue that caused the action here.

Exactly, which is why I understand BL restricting Russian to Russian sales also;
because the sellers wouldn't be able to pay their fees.

with paying that fee. Most of seller will find the way to pay fee... So those

And just blocking all russian profiles is not only limiting sellers, but also
limiting byuers - kids and AFOLS/thier parents who may play LEGO as their only
way to hide from problems.
Artist can go mad if he will be limited to buy paints and brushes

I'm sure there are other reasons that we don't know about. This is a

Our current events are a prime example that actions have consequences that affect

If the truth be told Bricklink/Lego are already being somewhat diplomatic about
their decision making for obvious reasons as they are an inclusive non political
organization.
However a lot of other organizations are being a lot more blunt as to why they
are imposing restrictions and so if you read between the lines it’s pretty clear
that many of these worldwide restrictions are intended so as to restrict funding
to your governments war effort rather than to intentionally hurt the Russian
people. Nobody wants to see the Russian people suffer yet only the Russian people
can decide whether they are willing to accept the path your government is taking
you down. No Mcdonalds might be easy to live without, No Bricklink less so, However
No livelihood/poverty well that might be intolerable for anyone and so isn’t
that the whole point?
i.e The realization that you deserve better from your own Government? A government
that truly thinks about its people rather than one mans dream!
Ukrainians have already lost everything and so are already having to fight for
what they want and at some point the Russian people may start to feel the same
way?

Our priority is the safety of all our colleagues. We are in contact with our

We have paused shipments of products to Russia given the extensive disruption

We care deeply about the lasting impact on children and together with the LEGO
Foundation and Ole Kirk’s Fond, we will donate DKK 110 million (approx. USD 16.5
million) to emergency relief efforts, with a focus on providing support for children
and families. The donation will be made to existing partners, including the United
Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Save the Children, and the Danish Red Cross.
This is a volatile and constantly evolving situation which we are monitoring
closely.
What does this mean for BrickLink?
The global payment platforms we use on BrickLink are currently not available
in Russia and deliveries to and from the country are severely disrupted. Given
this, buying and selling activities in Russia will be temporarily deactivated.
Members impacted by this will be informed individually.
We are grateful for everyone in our community and never imagined we would face

Well said Tanja.
Some sellers will be hurt, however it was the only humane decision Lego and Bricklink
could make. And the donation, generous. I respect Lego and Bricklink and Tanja
even more for making the donation and taking the hard steps that are necessary.
The stores in Russia will suffer, but the bigger picture, including the financial
means to exchange funds from stores, is much more important. Perhaps there is
a way to let Russian stores sell to buyers within Russia.
Anyway Tanja, it is commendable and refreshing to see Lego and Bricklink take
a stand.

We explored a range of options, including whether it was possible to keep stores
open, but decided the best approach for now, given that global payment platforms
are unavailable, was to temporarily deactivate stores.

who understand everything, we are trying to get out of this difficult situation.
We are trying to find alternative solutions! We are generally against everything
that is happening in our country! I didn't think I'd get this kind of
news from Bricklink! I have always been for Bricklink and believed that it was
an independent platform!
In general, this is not a reason to turn off Bricklink in Russia due to payment
systems. It's not the Lego fans' fault!
If you close Bricklink, Favorite Cubes will find a way out and we will continue
to trade on or off Bricklink. But a huge number of Lego fans will not do this,
you will simply lose them! Silly! This is Bricklink's stupidest decision
ever! I do not respect this decision!
You will change the attitude of good people who are fans of Bricklink and Lego!
There are many good people in Russia in the real sense! You just don't know
anything! I don't want you to end up in such a mess.

The issue here is can you pay your fees? Yes, you can keep selling to other Russian
buyers (at least while you have stock, as LEGO have halted shipments to your
country) and they can pay using a domestic payment method. But can you pay for
using the service? With all regulated international financial systems blocking
money moving in and out of Ryssia, you cannot. It may seem stupid, but is it
fair on other sellers if they have to pay fees whereas Russians can build up
large debts without paying.

A side comment, over the past few years, without accepting non-US payments, buyers
in other countries (notably HK and China) seemingly have found ways to fund payments
(via US based PayPal accounts) for packages being sent to freight forwarders.
With the various closures of payment exchanges and package movement, I would
not be in the least surprised if side businesses begin to appear, purely facilitating
payment clearance and package reshipment. Obviously, this time around, they would
be contravening national policies, so they would have a high risk of legal action.
The black market always seems to find a way (e,g, DPRK).

Losing home, jobs, family, friends, life... so. This is how it works, sad as

You are expression your opinion against the official point of view of Russia.
Isn't that a dangerous thing to do? So far, as I see it you risk 15 years
of prison just by doing so, isn't that so? I really can't imagine what
it must be like to live like this... it must be frustrating and frightening..

It is not independent. It is an American company owned by a large multinational
company based in Denmark. There have been policy changes to align it with LEGO
since LEGO bought it. Unlike McD and similar companies that run as franchises
in Russia, there is no Russian subsidiary that you can deal with that will keep
operating. You cannot use the service because you cannot pay to use the service
due to financial sanctions imposed by most international companies and banks.

Our thoughts are with all the children and families suffering as a result of

Our priority is the safety of all our colleagues. We are in contact with our
Ukrainian team and are providing ongoing support to ensure their safety. We are
also working to support other colleagues around the world impacted by the escalating
crisis including our team in Russia.
We have paused shipments of products to Russia given the extensive disruption
to the operating environment.
We care deeply about the lasting impact on children and together with the LEGO
Foundation and Ole Kirk’s Fond, we will donate DKK 110 million (approx. USD 16.5
million) to emergency relief efforts, with a focus on providing support for children
and families. The donation will be made to existing partners, including the United
Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Save the Children, and the Danish Red Cross.
This is a volatile and constantly evolving situation which we are monitoring
closely.
What does this mean for BrickLink?
The global payment platforms we use on BrickLink are currently not available
in Russia and deliveries to and from the country are severely disrupted. Given
this, buying and selling activities in Russia will be temporarily deactivated.
Members impacted by this will be informed individually.
We are grateful for everyone in our community and never imagined we would face

Will items from Russian stores continue to remain visible when looking at the
catalog? That would seem a tad strange, as there is currently no way for buyers
to purchase those items. It's almost like those items don't exist at
all for now.

Yes, unless the store is closed, the items in the store will remain visible to
all users in the catalog. In the same way, stoplisted buyers can view items in
a store and fill a cart. This is the same in other cases as well, such as geographical
restrictions due to tax collection, insufficient shipping methods, high minimum
buy, etc.
The block at checkout will not close the store, but stores may be closed independently
by the store owner at any time (of course), and all members will still be subject
to the Terms of Service, which means that selling privileges could be revoked
by the system automatically for completed NSSs or non-payment of fees.
Selling privileges could also be revoked manually by admin for a variety of reasons,
but revoking seller / buyer privileges is not part of the overall plan in handling
this situation with Russian members.

Allowing the stores to show stock means that buyers can contact sellers that

Unsure of the point being made, but this might shine light on whichever:
"There is no rule that says you can't sell what you have listed on BrickLink
some other way. Just don't be trying to convert BrickLink orders into non-BrickLink
orders. That would be fee circumvention.”

In any case, no need to look for demons, there's no shortage.

The point is if BL allows stock to be shown that cannot be bought through a normal
order, the buyer and seller will find a way.
So a Russian buyer sees a set they want in a Russian store, but they buyer cannot
buy and the seller cannot sell. But the buyer can contact the seller and ask
to buy it. And tge deal gets done, just without fees.

So I assumed, but was unsure. Here’s the pertinent bit of the conversation linked:
Member concerned about a payment method once used in a manner that would generate
fees for BL, now no longer available to them as a seller ~
“I sometimes sell items from my store to people in my local LUG and they pay
cash, but I pay the Bricklink fees. Since you are doing away with the cash option,
are you anticipating losing out on those fees, since all one would have to do
is tell the store owner "I want x, y, and z" and the store owner removes them
from their store and sells them for cash?”
Admin reply to the member's question of transactional fees ~
“There is no rule that says you can't sell what you have listed on BrickLink
some other way. Just don't be trying to convert BrickLink orders into non-BrickLink

The most surreal aspect of this whole situation is that the we, the global BrickLink
community, are observing sellers from one country report on disruptions to their
businesses and we just have to pretend like we don't know the real reason
that these sellers are experiencing difficultly. Contrast this to the fact that
no one feels the need to tread lightly while talking about disruptions cause
by natural disasters. Meanwhile, I don't think we've seen a single post
from anyone in an adjacent country that is experiencing actual life-or-death
disruptions. The reason for that silence is morbidly obvious and it speaks volumes.
I understand the reasoning behind carefully moderating political topics but in
this instance the consequences of such moderation is troubling. Sanctions are
political and, by extension, so are their results. To be truly fair, any discussion
about the difficulties sellers in any sanctioned country are experiencing should
be taken up directly with BL admins/management and not discussed in the forum
at all. I realize this is an unprecedented situation (at least as far as BrickLink
is concerned), but this feels like it would be a more equitable reading of the
"no political discussion" rule. To continue to allow such posts normalizes a
situation that is far from normal and adds insult to injury by giving a platform
to comfortable, peripheral victims who are likely posting from a couch or a desk
while completely ignoring victims in actual, physical danger who probably have
much graver concerns right now.

My post got canceled and I said some things you did. Lego and Bricklink did the
right thing but we must be silent on the reasons at times. It seems to me unreasonable
to cancel posts that do no massage the message or feelings of the posters that
agree with Lego. I also used a quote by Jefferson and I guess that is off limits.
Is that in deference to another movement in the US?

I can click cancel and it works at least as far as taking me to the confirmation

I probably should have actually taken that last step before posting this.
I tried it on your post, and it did let me click the confirmation button, but
after that it gave me the red error message.

You raise a valid point, but it needs some backstory clarification. There appear
to be a viable (for lack of a better word) number of sellers in Russia. BrickLink
is a USA company, and is owned by a Danish multi-national company. The conflict
has caused sanctions, which as you say are political. One of the parties to the
conflict appears (based on reports) to be censoring information which is counter
to their narrative. Sellers in that country, perhaps buyers too, do not see the
situation with the fullness that the rest of us see it, they see/hear/read a
specifically curated narrative. The administrators (and moderators) here are
walking a fine line between taking sides, and trying to cleanly explain why these
actions have been applied, and doing so in a fashion that does not promote negative
dialog. BL is very likely in a difficult position which does not permit their
acceptance of fee payments, without triggering a violation of sanctions (albeit
on a small scale). There are many fine lines being walked to try to hold the
community together, while we all hope for an end to this madness.

Crypto payment option will work for sure. there is could be a deposit / prepaid

shipping from/to russia could be a problem now due to logistics issues, but
at least let russians to trade with russians only.

They said they would inform you, so presumably you will get an email. Did they
send it already? I imagine they will just allow balances on Russian accounts
to remain until payments can be made again. You cannot add to the overall amount
owed if you cannot sell. It would be wrong to suspend accounts when they know
payments are not possible.

Yes, they sent the message. Here it is. Very simple:

My guess:
As they announced buying and selling will be deactivated in Russia, your shop
will be closed.
You probably can't pay the fees, you will owe them, but probably won't
have to pay them until you'll be able to.

Strictly it is the checkout function that is disabled rather than payment. They
don't want new orders generated (that could be paid some other way).

| Why was it necessary to disconnect Russian stores from Bricklink? Russian buyers
could buy in Russian stores directly paying for orders not through PayPal, but
on the seller’s card, and you have deprived everyone of this opportunity, thereby
setting people up only against yourself.
Do you also support Russophobia? Why are you interfering politics with constructor
sales?

But Russian sellers can't pay fees to Bricklink. That is probably the main
reason for disconnecting Russian to Russian orders.

| Dear BrickLink members,
The LEGO Group released the following statement regarding the war in Ukraine.
Our thoughts are with all the children and families suffering as a result of
the war in Ukraine.
Our priority is the safety of all our colleagues. We are in contact with our
Ukrainian team and are providing ongoing support to ensure their safety. We are
also working to support other colleagues around the world impacted by the escalating
crisis including our team in Russia.
We have paused shipments of products to Russia given the extensive disruption
to the operating environment.
We care deeply about the lasting impact on children and together with the LEGO
Foundation and Ole Kirk’s Fond, we will donate DKK 110 million (approx. USD 16.5
million) to emergency relief efforts, with a focus on providing support for children
and families. The donation will be made to existing partners, including the United
Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Save the Children, and the Danish Red Cross.
This is a volatile and constantly evolving situation which we are monitoring
closely.
What does this mean for BrickLink?
The global payment platforms we use on BrickLink are currently not available
in Russia and deliveries to and from the country are severely disrupted. Given
this, buying and selling activities in Russia will be temporarily deactivated.
Members impacted by this will be informed individually.
We are grateful for everyone in our community and never imagined we would face
a situation such as this or witness the heartbreak and devastation we’re seeing
in Ukraine.
Please continue to adhere to our community guidelines and show each other respect
and support.
Thank you for your understanding.

People in western countries do not hate Russians. Currently, most people seem
to feel sorry for them. We just really, really want the war to stop. That is
why there are sanctions. Bricklink stores are just collateral damage in this
effort.

Do you understand that sellers from Russia can't pay fees for sold items?
PayPal, VISA, Mastercard and Western Union closed their services in Russia. UnionPay
don't work also. Russian Bricklink stores can't work properly and russian
buyers can't pay. There is only a way to pay by Bank Transfer but it is too
expensive.

Не забанен как таковой, просто деактивирован.

Dear Bricklink Administration,
Please, answer about seller's fees. Will you terminate all accounts of sellers
from Russia? Is there any solution? Sellers from Russia can still send direct
bank transfer to european IBAN accounts. We can pay you if you have IBAN in some
european bank.
Best Regards, MIhail.

Hi Mlhail,
We are not terminating accounts. We explored a range of options, including whether
it was possible to keep stores open, but decided the best approach for now, given
that global payment platforms are unavailable, was to temporarily deactivate
stores.

Do you really believe all donated funds will be received by Ukrainian refuges\war
affected families? People be reasonable, all collected money will be spent on
gathering more military power, more weapons.. to continue the war. If you really
want to help those affected by war families, make your EU\US\RU government to
stop support this war, by sending soldiers, weapon, sanctions and so on. Messing
politics with LEGO won't help, this is ridiculous..

| Команда BrickLink Уважаемый администратор. Дайте мне знать, почему я должен
|
| страдать. я не имею никакого отношения к проблемы, которые вы описываете. Я
честный покупатель и хочу купить ваш продукт. Если вы считаете, что проблема
в логистике. Товары поступают из Гонконга и нет трудностей на таможне. Почему
я не могу сделать сыну подарок на день рождения? Почему я работал много месяцев
и копил на подарок, который вы не хотите продать меня?
I want you to know. I am renting a house. when I got a call from an unfamiliar
family from Ukraine. They asked to book without money. I waited for them and
gave the keys for free, they live in my second house. a family unknown to me
with three children who fled from a terrible situation in their country. and
you tell me that some children are better than others. I believe that there
are no bad people. there are terrible things. I expect your refusal to sell
the goods and consider this a violation of my rights. I think you are not interested
in my rights as an honest buyer. you are interested in publicly making yourself
a virtue. like in the theatre. may God protect you. and only God is our judge.

No feedback since June 2022 suggests they can't sell.

Because the many western countries have imposed financial and trade sanctions
against Belarus because of your government's support for Russia and their
invasion of Ukraine. Importantly, PayPal have stopped operating in Russia and
Belarus because of the financial sanctions, so there are no payment options to
pay fees.

PayPal works in Belarus even with local credit cards from banks that are not
under sanctions, so no problem with payment. I think the real reason is that
Lego left our market, so Bricklink left it as a part of Lego group.
|
I thought paypal had stopped operating in Belarus as Western governments have
applied the same financial sanctions on Belarus as Russia. And yes, LEGO pulled
out of both countries, as have many other Western based international companies.

The Belarusian foreign minister confirmed last week that Belarus is doing joint
exercises with Russian troops building up in Belarus. Russia is freely using
Belarusian air space for missile and drone attacks on Ukraine. I don't think
YOU or any of your friends are to blame, but your government is entirely allied
with Russia in this.

This is a volatile and constantly evolving situation which we are monitoring
closely.
What does this mean for BrickLink?
The global payment platforms we use on BrickLink are currently not available
in Russia and deliveries to and from the country are severely disrupted. Given
this, buying and selling activities in Russia will be temporarily deactivated.
Members impacted by this will be informed individually.
We are grateful for everyone in our community and never imagined we would face

Sometimes you just have to make a point. All the trade restriction we have put
on Russia doesn't seem to be working. Maybe if we take away their Lego they
may stop doing what they are doing.

LEGO made a statement that they are no longer operating in Russia. To have a
subsidiary operate in Russia would make that untrue and bring bad press. Russia
has its own World of Cubes clone stores now.

| Belarus is also under sanctions in general, because your regime actively supported
Russia's invasion of Ukraine, for example a brutal attack took place also
from the territory of Belarus and much more.
So I totally agree for the same sanctions for Belarus as for Russia.

what's the difference...?
Lego punished Russia as a Whole for invadiong Ukraine
Lego did not punish China as a whole for invading Hong Kong.
... the only difference is Hong Kong didn't fight Militarily, they fought
Politicallly & lost because no one wanted to help them.
... i guess the real question is...
-- what will Lego do regarding China if it invades Taiwan... too?

That's a really good question, actually. The answer depends what the U.S.
government decides to do, since BrickLink is incorporated in the U.S. and therefore
must comply with U.S. government regulations regarding foreign trade in order
to maintain its business license.
When Russia invaded Crimea in February 2014, the U.S. government imposed punitive
economic sanctions against Russia, although this was not enough to prevent Russian
citizens from buying and selling on BrickLink.
When Russia invaded eastern Ukraine in February 2022, the U.S. government strengthened
their existing sanctions against Russia and imposed additional sanctions. Russia
was also excluded from some international payment networks, such as PayPal, which
makes it difficult for BrickLink members registered in Russia to send or receive
money from BrickLink members registered in other parts of the world, such as
North America and the rest of Europe.
Out of an abundance of caution, the BrickLink administration made the decision
to temporarily suspend accounts registered in Russia. Since BrickLink has a significant
user base in Russia, this is probably temporary until relations with Russia become
normalized or the BrickLink administration finds a way to work within the limitations
imposed by the U.S. government.
When the United Kingdom transferred ownership of Hong Kong to the People's
Republic of China in 1997, as far as I'm aware, the U.S. government did not
impose any economic sanctions against China, since the UK was basically leasing
Hong Kong from China and simply decided not to extend its lease after it expired.
However, geopolitical relations between the United States and the People's
Republic of China have been gradually getting worse, and the United States has
a strong geopolitical interest in protecting the Republic of China (Taiwan).
If China does decide to invade Taiwan, the U.S. government would almost certainly
impose punitive economic sanctions against China, which may cause the BrickLink
administration to suspend accounts from members registered in mainland China,
just like they did after Russia invaded Ukraine.

Actually you don't get it. There are none innocent Russians in this war -
they agreed on that so called "special military mission" and they finance
it. If Russia won't have iPhones, McDonald, Geforce cards or even Lego
bricks, maybe some of you will at last start thinking on your own. So even though
I like Russian Lego prices I prefer to pay more somewhere else and wait for Russians
to start playing with sticks and stones- for me they can even go back to Stone
Age. If that teaches them anything. Millions of Lego are nothing compared to
Ukrainian lives that are being lost every day of this "special Russian military

The heat on this topic is understandable, especially from as close as Poland,
but Evan727272 probably is an innocent Russian. It is important to remember
that individual Russians may or may not support what their government is doing
and cannot directly control it in either case.

to start playing with sticks and stones- for me they can even go back to Stone
Age. If that teaches them anything. Millions of Lego are nothing compared to
Ukrainian lives that are being lost every day of this "special Russian military
missiom".

The heat on this topic is understandable, especially from as close as Poland,
but Evan727272 probably is an innocent Russian. It is important to remember
that individual Russians may or may not support what their government is doing
and cannot directly control it in either case.

Guys you are far from this conflict, sorry, thousand of kilometers give you wrong
perspective. Most of Russians are either too ignorant, or too arrogant and they
DO support the war (about 80% of Russians). So economic suffering is the only
thing that we can do to Russian, as a payback for what they are doing every day
to poor Ukrainians. Lego as company based in European democracy won't support
nation with manslaughter written all over them. Long live LEGO and BL )

in the actions of Lego as a company.

Do Russians really support the war? I met a few Russians while I was living in
New York City and they did not really seem to like Vladimir Putin and the war
in Ukraine, but maybe that is why they live in New York City and not Moscow.

I think BrickLink's main "political agenda" is to comply with government

| Dear BrickLink members,
The LEGO Group released the following statement regarding the war in Ukraine.
Our thoughts are with all the children and families suffering as a result of
the war in Ukraine.
Our priority is the safety of all our colleagues. We are in contact with our
Ukrainian team and are providing ongoing support to ensure their safety. We are
also working to support other colleagues around the world impacted by the escalating
crisis including our team in Russia.
We have paused shipments of products to Russia given the extensive disruption
to the operating environment.
We care deeply about the lasting impact on children and together with the LEGO
Foundation and Ole Kirk’s Fond, we will donate DKK 110 million (approx. USD 16.5
million) to emergency relief efforts, with a focus on providing support for children
and families. The donation will be made to existing partners, including the United
Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Save the Children, and the Danish Red Cross.
This is a volatile and constantly evolving situation which we are monitoring
closely.
What does this mean for BrickLink?
The global payment platforms we use on BrickLink are currently not available
in Russia and deliveries to and from the country are severely disrupted. Given
this, buying and selling activities in Russia will be temporarily deactivated.
Members impacted by this will be informed individually.
We are grateful for everyone in our community and never imagined we would face
a situation such as this or witness the heartbreak and devastation we’re seeing
in Ukraine.
Please continue to adhere to our community guidelines and show each other respect
and support.
Thank you for your understanding.

"More than 1 million Uyghurs, an ethnic-Muslim minority in China, are being
detained in hundreds of Chinese detention facilities and camps, where there are
reports of widespread torture and detentions that have evolved into forced labor.
The Department of Homeland Security is now banning products thought to be made
in China by forced Uyghur Slave Labor."
.......... so where is the ban on Chinese Lego Sellers & Chinese Factories Producing
Lego Products as a Whole... because OBVIOUSLY Lego does not condone slavery in
any aspect.....
... right?

| Good afternoon. Dear Bricklink support. I am writing to you regarding the work
of the site in my country.
I am interested in why in Belarus it is impossible to place an order from foreign
sellers? when placing an order through the cart
The site redirects to the post about temporary suspension of work in Russia due
to the war in Ukraine. but in the post itself it says ONLY about RUSSIA.
so why is Belarus also under restriction? because Belarus is not involved in
this conflict.

Given that the LEGO Group has ceased all commercial operations in Belarus, we
also had to stop all BrickLink transactions going to and from Belarus from February
2023. An email was shared with all Belarus members last year to inform about
this.
Very sorry for the inconvenience.

The USA has sanctions/ trade embargo against Belarus. I imagine Poland also has
similar, in line with EU regulations. https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/policies/sanctions-against-belarus/
